I assume this is about dark patterns but can’t confirm as I’m faced with a cookie wall where I can select from “Manage” and “Accept All”.

- birdsongs 5mo agoThe point isn't us. You should know that. The point is the 99.8% that doesn't have our skills, and is forced into these dark patterns, by deception or psychological manipulation.
- dangus 5mo agoCookie dialogs are the opposite, they are asking for consent up front. Before they existed websites would just put stuff on your computer without asking. They’re literally a consumer protection. Direct your outrage elsewhere.

- birdsongs 5mo agoI have no outrage, and for what it's worth, I upvoted you so your comment wasn't killed. I think you're being condescending though, and missing the point.
- dangus 5mo agoThe point came across to me as a pretty unproductive comment on the design of the website hosting the article rather than its contents, which is why I responded the way I did. Just like people who will complain about a news site with ads or some other unrelated design feature of the site they don’t like. Again, if you’re on here you presumably know how to block ads, or cookie dialogs.
- mghackerlady 5mo agoThey're better, but most of them use dark patterns to get you to accept all of them
- traderj0e 5mo agoThe site doesn't put cookies on my browser, my browser lets the site set/get cookies. If I let it.
- Unai 5mo agoI got a big "reject all" button just next to the "accept all" one, on mobile.
- gavinsyancey 5mo agoI wonder if you're in a region that requires that, while the original commenter isn't?
- californical 5mo agoI just got a big “We respect your privacy” banner, with a big green ok button and a “manage data collection” tiny print text that had consent for everything automatically approved
